Notes
- When first roasted, the nuts are chewy; allow them to cool completely before eating.
- The oil and salt are optional.
- You can toss the nuts with different spices and herbs.
- Store the nuts in the freezer for up to six months or in the pantry for up to 10 days.
- Do not roast whole cashews with half and pieces. Each size roasts at different times.
